Windsor Great Cave

Windsor Great Cave is an extensive limestone cave system with roughly 3 kilometers of underground passages, multiple entrances, and chambers shaped by natural stone formations. The passages vary in height and width, with some sections forming wide halls while others create tight corridors.

In the 1930s, workers extracted guano deposits from the deeper sections, which altered certain zones within the cave system. This mining activity left marks in several chambers that remain visible today.

The cave system matters to local research efforts and functions as a place where visitors learn about Jamaica's natural geology. People come here to understand how limestone creates hollow spaces over millions of years.

Expect damp conditions throughout, especially in deeper areas, and prepare yourself for uneven ground surfaces. Water can seep into certain sections during heavy rains, so checking the weather beforehand helps you plan better.

The cave system is home to a colony of over 50,000 bats, creating a specialized habitat for various invertebrate species. These bats play an important role in the local ecosystem and their activity during dusk is observable to visitors.
